Privacy Statement

For the Dear Habermas Site

The Dear Habermas Site which was first hosted on Compuserv two and a half years ago, then at California State University, Dominguez Hills, has since grown to include collegial sites at the University of Wisconsin, Parkside, at Indiana University, at Hesston College, and at a Loveland, Colorado Senior Adult Forum. Our main hub site is housed at Habermas.org, where we all have access to its growth. Our local hub sites house campus and community classes and workshops.
We have revised this, our original privacy policy to accord with our growth and to reconfirm our commitment to privacy.

The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this site:

Our site does not use cookies, and does not to our knowledge collect any data from your computer. That qualifier, "to our knowledge," means that none of us are techs, so we can't check out the system to guarantee this. The discussion forums we provide permit us to allow discussion threads to develop over time and across distance. Since we retain editorial privilege over all material that we upload on our site, we do not use cookies to verify the machine of origin. Our readers accept that we are who we say we are, and we do not relinquish judgment of the validity claims made on those grounds. This is a learning site. And we believe that on those grounds it should remain open to all access. The site does not use cookies to verify registration, credit, grades, or any other certification data. We do use FastCounter to estimate that our audience is out there.

Since we do not collect any data, we do not use any such data in reports or for advertisers, of which we don't have any anyway, or for any other purportedly useful activities.
